DESCRIPTION:Adolescence\, defined as 10-24 years\, is a period of life oft
 en characterised by behaviours that can appear\, prima facie\, irrational 
 such as dangerous risk-taking and impulsivity. However\, these behaviours 
 can be interpreted as adaptive and rational given that a key developmental
  goal of this period of life is to mature into an independent adult while 
 navigating a social world that is unstable and changing. Research over the
  past two decades has demonstrated that social cognitive processes involve
 d in navigating an increasingly complex social world develop\, social infl
 uence is an important determinant of decision making and areas of the soci
 al brain undergo substantial development across adolescence. The findings 
 suggest that adolescence might be a sensitive period of social development
